How to uninstall all mods in Vortex (or at least reset stuff)

[ZXVIIR]

Completely new to modding, so this might be obvious, but I downloaded a bunch of mods that gave me a list of patches and things to choose from when I installed them. The thing is, after messing around with mods for a few days, I realized that some of the patches I didn't install/options I didn't pick were needed for one of the newer mods that I installed. Thing is, I can't rememeber which mod it was so I can't just uninstall and reinstall that one in particular.

 

Is there any way for me to uninstall all the mods I have downloaded, while still keeping them in Vortex so I can reinstall each one by one right afterwards? (Like what happens if I click uninstall on a singular mod)?

 

Or if that's stupid, is there any way for me to reconfigure each mod anew without having to reinstall them every single time?

click the mod, select uninstall - do NOT tick the option to delete the archive.

deploy.

done.

What I do with mods that need to be reconfigured due to additional mods is just click the "Reinstall" dropdown on that mod.

My understanding is that works like an Uninstall followed by Install - just simpler.

You may need to do a Deploy first so it sees the new mods, and a Deploy after.

In any case - it has always worked for me.

To uninstall ALL mods

 

Hit CTRL +A, then select UNINSTALL from the little white Menu that pops up at the bottom.

Yes, but is there a way for me to do this for all mods at the same time, not just one at a time?

Yes, but for me it seems that pressing "reinstall" is more tedious than manually uninstalling every mod by hand. For one, it cycles through every mod in a really clunky way, and it deploys for like ten minutes between mods, and it just doesn't feel like i'm in control. Which is why I asked about whether there was a way to simply "uninstall" all mods at once, not "reinstall"

Am I blind? Cause when I do that I don't see the UNINSTALL option at all, just the reinstall (and see above point for my issue with that)

CTRL-A - then down the bottom the white bar - click "REMOVE" - different word - conceptually the same as "UNINSTALL". do not select the option to delete the archives.
